Watch. 3 minutes. Dont rush to patch up the Cracks These are delicate times as we go through these massive changes. Working from home. Work and life is no longer separate . Many of us are under a huge burden a mental stress that is breaking us. We are cracking . There are cracks in our relationships, at work, in our personal life. Internally we have cracks appear in our own sanity.
We are afraid of cracks.
When you see a crack in something you want to patch it up immediately .. There is a fear that once the crack appears life will fall apart. It will crumble and break. We believe The appearance of a crack signals a breakdown. It drives us nuts
There is an urgent desire to hide it in, patch it up, stop it from growing , put a band aid on it. Keep it from showing. At times we are ashamed of the crack and don’t want any one to know
We go about like a maniac doing damage control
The thing is though that these very cracks could be a beginning of something new
Especially now we see so much of pain, suffering , tension and trauma and notice that everywhere cracks are appearing
At work you just realized half your team has been fired
You have been handed over a pay cut letter. At home you are managing life plus work with more pressure as you have lost your team. The once healthy relations are shown cracks and threatening to break up
What should you do? Do you shut them up without allowing the pain and suffering that needs flowing out?
Do you runaway from others who are starting to show signs of cracking ?
What about you ? How are others perceiving us? Are they distancing themselves too?
This is not a time to distance yourself. It is not a time to patch up the cracks. This is a time to show your presence. To be there in the face of this difficulty because through the cracks light can flow in
Through the cracks the pain and suffering can ooze out.
Through the very cracks love can penetrate the darkness of the soul.
So look at the cracks as a tool . A tool that is allowing light to flow through it
Watch what needs to flow out .. allow it to flow out. Instead of trying to patch in with your story, your rhetoric, your pain .. first be present to what the event, circumstance and person is trying to convey and that will be enough for love and peace to flow back into the space created
So, Cracks are not a bad thing- They are a message that its time to light and love to replace the darkness and anguish
